Soccer

They would ask you lots of questions, and your family about things going on that they see. I can suggest for one thing you go to the Epilepsy Foundation of America's site and read up on Simple Partial seizures.

Now I would also suggest that you ask for a EEG and its going to be a sleep deprived one. So that they can get the best reading. If there is activity or a seizure during it this is the best. But the most usual thing they see is for a EEG to be normal, or to have a small amount of activity.

Which is the best, but I would ask for one. They will also do a MRI to double
check things. If you have already had one. THis might not be necessary.

Now I wouldn't worry about if you are going to be able to drive yet. They have to get the seizures under control first. And with a early diagnosis and
the fact that they can control seizures with usually the first or second medication. Then you should be able to drive soon. But most states its 6 months after your seizure free.

I have a second son, who is now 23 who spent 6 to 9 months not driving.
Just after he was 18. He was driving when he shouldn't have been. He finally told me about the blacking out spells when he was driving down the road, and ending up in a ditch. Thankfully he didn't hurt anyone. But he had
been having lots of small fender benders that didn't make sense right before then. And as it turned out. After calling the neuro working on the headaches. He put him on depakote ER immediately. Because its known to work on both migraine headaches, and seizures. And it was very much a good thing for Devin.

He is my son that had dropped out of school at 18 and went back at 19 or 20 I can't remember which to finish his senior year. He is also the one that loved
high school soccer but was sick with migraines missing it too.
